The Capture of Bigfoot is a 1979 horror film from Bill Rebane, the director of Monster A-Go-Go. Produced and originally released by Studio Film Corp, the film was re-released in 2010 by Troma Entertainment.

Plot

The creature known as Bigfoot has managed to elude capture for more than 25 years and a small town has made a cottage industry out of local Bigfoot sightings and merchandising. When a businessman decides to trap Bigfoot once and for all so that he can benefit, the town may ultimately lose the tourist profits that have filled the town's coffers.

Cast

In his book All [I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned from The Toxic Avenger], Troma president Lloyd Kaufman lists this film as one of the five worst Troma films ever distributed. Shot in Gleason, Wisconsin, the film's closing credits attribute the "wardrobe" to Kmart.
